An Army Of Marksmen.

The American infantry soldier fires 800
rounds a year-about ten times as many as
the soldier of any other nation uses In the
same time. This amount of practice makes
them tho best marksmen in tho world. We
have an army of marlsmen.
The board Of officers before whom the new
inventions in magazine guns were tested Sc
lected three for experiments to he made by
troops in the field. These were the Lee, the
Chaffee- Reese and the Hotchkiss. The army
report was %unfavorable to them all, tho YER
dict being that the present Springfield rifle
was the best rife for the frontier.
But could troops armed with the Spring
field hold their W with troops armed with
q magazine guns
No; for in every battle a time must come
when the soldier shall be able to discharge
his piece five or six times in a few seconds,
Every magazine must be detachable. With
the Lee this was the case. With the others
it was not. 1t must he detachable, because
until at close quarters the firing will be more
effective with q rifle loaded in the ordinary.
way, without the incumbrance of a maya
zine.
A new problem with the present system of
rapid firing is how to get ammunition to a
skirnish line. There is danger in the present
system of ammunition boxes, containing
1000 rounds and tightly nailed up. The
soldier, having difficulty in opening it, not
~infrequently dashcs the box against a tree to
break it open. We have invented a box that
overcomes this difficulty. It is watertipht.
opens readily and is perfectly safe to handle.

AS for the fortunes now in the second pen-
GRAFTON and Fastening to the third, they are
too numerous to mention. So it is an error
to suppose that the sons of the rich are always
sure to be spendthrifts who will dissipate
their heritage. 1t is a fact, on the contrary,
that i'll the cases referred to, MS well as in
others that might be spoken of, the original
Inheritance has been vastly increased by each
successive generation. The head of the Aston
family today-if we regard William W., who
manages the property, rs the real head is a
shrewd business man, always enlarging the
estate; and the same thing may be said of
William X. Vanderbilt and of others in the
line OF millionaireism including George
Gould, the son Of his father, Jay, and the
father of his son, Jay.-John Swinton in

1t is perfectly true that no one ever heard
of n snoring savage. In fact. if the wild man
of the woods and plains does no, sleep quietly
he runs the risk of being discovered hy his
enemy, and the scalp Of the slorcr would
soon adorn the belt of his crafty and more
silent sleeping adversary. In the natural
state, then, natural selection weeds out
those who disturb their ncighbors by making
night hideous with snores. With civilization,
however, VIC have changed all this. The i'm
pure air of our sleeping rooms induces all
manner of catarrhal affections. The nasal
passages are the first to become affected. In
stead of warming the inspired air on it's way
to the lungs, and removing from it the dan
gerous impurities with which it is loaded. the
nose becomes obstructcl. y part Of the air
enters and escapes by way Of the mouth,
The veil of the paiato vibrates between tho
two currents-that through the mouth and
the one still passing through the partially
closed n%ostrils-like n torn sail in the wind,
The siore, then, means that the s~leencr's
mouth is partially open, that his nose is par
TALLY closed and that his lungs are in danger
from the air not being properly warmed and
purified. From the continual operation of
these cause.-the increase of impure air in
sleeping rooms and permitting habitual
snorcrs to escape killing and scalping-somo
scientist has predicted that in the future all
men land the women, too will snore. 1t goes
along with the decay of the teeth and bald
medicines. Fire: idle.
